Foscam FI9820W: how to enable telnet access

If you have the Foscam FI9820W, you can access it through telnet:

Then you can install TinyFTP server:

1) download cross compiler to compile it for ARM:
http://landley.net/aboriginal/downloads/binaries/cross-compiler-armv5l.tar.bz2

2) download TinyFTP:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/tinyftp/

You just have to edit the Makefile to point to the cross compiler (where you downloaded)

CC=/home/fraga/src/cross-compiler-armv5l/bin/armv5l-gcc
CFLAGS=-mcpu=arm926ej-s

Then "make". It will generate tinyftp binary. You can through telnet download it from somewhere.

The syntax is simple and I created a script to run it everytime the cam boots:

/etc/init.d $ cat S98tinyftp
#!/bin/sh
/bin/tinyftp -d -c /bin/vs/sd &

That's all. I hope you enjoy.

Ps: I still want to know how to fix the mime type issue (for the email). If someone has a solution, please answer
